1.0 WARRANTY INFORMATION

Patton Electronics warrants all Model 2011 components to be
free from defects, and will—at our option—repair or replace the product
should it fail within one year from the first date of shipment.

This warranty is limited to defects in workmanship or materials, and
does not cover customer damage, abuse or unauthorized modification.
If this product fails or does not perform as warranted, your sole
recourse shall be repair or replacement as described above. Under no
condition shall Patton Electronics be liable for any damages incurred
by the use of this product. These damages include, but are not limited
to, the following: lost profits, lost savings and incidental or
consequential damages arising from the use of or inability to use this
product. Patton Electronics specifically disclaims all other warranties,
expressed or implied, and the installation or use of this product shall be
deemed an acceptance of these terms by the user.

1.1 RADIO AND TV INTERFERENCE

The Model 2011 generates and uses radio frequency energy, and if
not installed and used properly—that is, in strict accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions—may cause interference to radio and
television reception. The Model 2011 is designed to provide
reasonable protection from such interference in a commercial
installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If the Model 2011 does cause
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined
by disconnecting the RS-232 interface, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
moving the computing equipment away from the receiver, re-orienting
the receiving antenna and/or plugging the receiving equipment into a
different AC outlet (such that the computing equipment and receiver are
on different branches).

1.2 SERVICE

All warranty and non-warranty repairs must be returned freight
prepaid and insured to Patton Electronics. All returns must have a
Return Materials Authorization number on the outside of the shipping
container. This number may be obtained from Patton Electronics
Technical Service at [phone].

Packages received without an

RMA number will not be accepted.

Patton Electronics' technical staff is also available to answer any
questions that might arise concerning the installation or use of your
Model 2011. Technical Service hours: 8AM to 5PM EST, Monday

through Friday.

2.1 FEATURES

• Conforms to CCITT V.22 and V.14 standards

• Lets asynchronous terminals communicate with synchronous
modems and multiplexers

• Accepts character lengths to 11 bits

• Requires no AC power or batteries

• Supports data rates to 64 Kbps

• Automatically adjusts synchronous data rates

• Miniature size

• Plugs directly into async. or sync. DB-25 port

• Accepts external clocking

• Made in the USA

2.2 DESCRIPTION

The Patton Model 2011 asynchronous to synchronous converter

plugs directly into a local asynchronous DTE (terminal, PC, etc.) and
connects that DTE, via RS-232 cable, to a synchronous DCE. When
the same set-up is installed on the remote end, the local and remote
DTEs can communicate over the synchronous link.

Drawing power from either the synchronous or asynchronous

RS-232 interface, the Model 2011 needs no AC power or batteries to
operate and supports RS-232 data rates from 64 Kbps. Because the
Model 2011 automatically adjusts the synchronous data rate to match
the asynchronous DTE’s output rate, no data rate strapping is
necessary. The Model 2011 derives clocking externally from the clock
of the synchronous DCE, and imposes no limit on data block size.
Characters may be up to 11 bits long.

Measuring only 3.2” x 2.0” x .75”, the Model 2011 is housed in a

sturdy ABS plastic case. It comes fully equipped with a DB-25 male
connector and a DB-25 female connector, which plug directly into the
synchronous and asynchronous ports.

3.0 CONFIGURATION

The Model 2011 is configured using internal DIP switches. Figure 1

shows the location of the Model 2011's configuration switches.

3.1 ACCESSING INTERNAL SWITCHES

The Model 2011's DIP switches are mounted on the PC board. To
access the PC board, insert the blade of a small flathead screwdriver
into the slot on one side of the Model 2011’s case, then pop the case
open by twisting the blade. Repeat on the other side of the case. You
should now be able to pull the case halves apart and access the DIP
switches on the PC board. Once you have set the switches properly,
align the case halves and snap them together.

3.2 SETTING INTERNAL SWITCHES

Three DIP switches are used to configure the Model 2011: two
switches set the character length and one switch matches the signaling
rates of the asynchronous and synchronous ports. Figure 2 shows the
orientation of the DIP switches.

3.2.1 CHARACTER LENGTH

Switches SW1-1 and SW1-2 operate jointly to set the
asynchronous character length. The asynchronous character length
setting is determined by combining the number of start, stop, data and
parity bits that make up each character generated by the asynchronous
DTE. The Model 2011 does not care about the composition of each
asynchronous character, only its length is significant. Below are the
combined switch settings that set the four possible asynchronous
character lengths:

SW 1-1

SW 1-2

8 Bit OFF ON

9 Bit ON ON
10 Bit OFF* OFF*
11 Bit ON OFF

3.2.2 EXTENDED SIGNALING RATE (ESR)

The position of switch SW1-3 ensures that the asynchronous input
data rate matches the synchronous output data rate. When switch
SW1-3 is set to OFF, the asynchronous bit rate must match the
synchronous clock rate to a tolerance of -2.5% to +1%. When switch
SW1-3 is set to ON, the asynchronous bit rate must match the
synchronous clock rate to a tolerance of -2.5% to +2.3%.

SW 1-3

-2.5% to +1% OFF*

-2.5% to +2.3% ON

* Default settings

Note: Switch SW1-4 is not used.
